The Division I membership will have the opportunity in January to shape the look of sand volleyball when the Legislative Council takes its first votes on measures to mold the sport.
Proposals, some modified by a working group designed to address concerns about the sport, would regulate the personnel and recruiting, financial aid, playing and practice seasons, and membership requirements for sport sponsorship.
Division II, which also adopted sand volleyball as an emerging sport, already adopted its framework for the sport.
The Sand Volleyball Working Group, created after the final adoption of the sport as an emerging sport for women and the postponement of the effective date for its addition from August 1, 2010, to August 1, 2011, included Legislative Council members and representatives of the Collegiate Commissioners Association Compliance Administrators to develop a legislative framework for the sport. The working group examined legislation already proposed by various cabinets and conferences and either supported the proposals or suggested modifications.
The Council will consider three proposals regulating personnel and recruiting:
The working group supports 2009-19-B over 2009-19-A because it addresses concerns with cost. Under 2009-19-B, institutions would not need to hire an additional coach to sponsor sand volleyball, and no advantage would be gained by institutions that sponsored both sports.
Sarah Wilhelmi, a working group member and assistant commissioner of the West Coast Conference, said cost concerns and competitive equity were a major focus of the group's discussions.
"We wanted to offer an option that wouldn't require a lot of resources right off the bat," Wilhelmi said. "A lot of the discussion came from the feasibility of actually launching a program on campus in the current financial climate."
The group also supported 2009-39 as modified, believing that an additional, different volleyball recruiting calendar isn't necessary yet, and that the additional days for institutions that sponsor both sports will not be a recruiting advantage and may assist in the growth of sand volleyball by spurring the creation of additional sand events to correspond with the 20 additional sand-specific evaluation days.
The Council will also consider 2009-70-A and 2009-70-B to establish the financial aid structure for sand volleyball. Both proposals would create the following phased-in approach for financial aid equivalencies and counters for schools that sponsor both the women's indoor and women's sand games:
Schools that sponsor only sand volleyball would be limited to eight equivalencies and 14 counters. Where the two proposals differ is an added provision in 2009-70-A, which would require sand volleyball student-athletes who participate only in the sand game during their freshman year but who later participate in women's volleyball during their second year of enrollment to be retroactive counters in women's volleyball during the freshman year.
The modification was recommended by the working group as a way to keep coaches of elite programs from stockpiling talent. T.J. Meagher, an associate athletics director at Houston and a member of the American Volleyball Coaches Association board, served on the working group as well. Meagher said the provision was modeled after a National Letter of Intent regulation that prevents schools from securing an early commitment from football players by signing them to the track team.
"It started out as an idea to protect the indoor game," Meagher said. "We couldn't do it in the same way as the NLI, so we figured out a way to protect the indoor game and prevent schools from creating a sand team that's really a training program for their indoor program."
Wilhelmi said the provision would prevent a dilution of the sport.
"If you're going to put resources into launching a sand program, you need to be sure the student-athletes are dedicated to that sport," she said.
The Council will also consider 2009-83, sponsored by the Sun Belt Conference, which requires schools that sponsor sand volleyball to play at least eight contests and limits the number of total dates of competition to 16. No more than two dates of competition can be in the nonchampionship segment. The proposal also limits the championship season to eight weeks plus the following weekend, beginning on the first Thursday in March.
The original proposal allowed 18 dates of competition, and the working group recommended a reduction to minimize missed class time and provide flexibility in scheduling between the nonchampionship and championship segments.
Wilhelmi said the reduction in contests was the result of a "good compromise."
"We wanted to make sure it wasn't too aggressive," she said. "We were trying to have consideration for the coaches and student-athletes that might be multi-sport. We wanted to sustain a season for these programs but add some flexibility in how it's structured."
Division II adopted a structure that allows a maximum of 16 dates of competition in the championship segment and four during the nonchampionship segment.
Both Wilhelmi and Meagher supported the working group effort and praised the concept of bringing together various stakeholders to focus on the issue.
"It was a very intelligent approach to solving a diversified and complex problem," Meagher said.
The Legislative Council will cast its first votes on all of the proposals at the 2011 NCAA Convention in January. The Council will have the opportunity to adopt or defeat the measures, or send them for membership comment. If the legislative framework for the sport is not finalized in January, the Council meets again to cast final votes in April.

The win also left Reed with a berth in the regional semifinals, marking the eighth-straight season the Raiders have won a first-round playoff game. Their prize is a second-round playoff affair against cross-town rival Spanish Springs, a team it also beat 47-14 in both teams' regular season finale last week.
"We out-hit Douglas and then we tackled well. That was the key," Reed coach Ernie Howren said.
Reed dominated Douglas from start to finish. The game wasn't even four minutes old and the Raiders were on top 13-0.
Reed wasted no time grabbing the momentum. It returned the opening kickoff of the game 91 yards for a touchdown, or at least that's the way it seemed. The score was waived off after Reed was called for a penalty on the play. Instead of leading 7-0 just seconds into the contest, Reed was forced to start the game's opening drive on its own 9.
The Raiders were unfazed. They marched 91 yards and went on top 6-0 just 93 seconds into the game. The touchdown came on an 8-yard pass-and-catch combination from Mark Nowaczewski to Devin Gray at the 10:27 mark of the initial quarter.
"I was just so proud of our guys after that first play," Howren said. "Here it is a playoff game. Emotions are running high. We get that kickoff return called back and we're sitting at our own 9. Then we go 91 yards and score. That was just a super drive."
Douglas shot itself in the foot on the following possession. It fumbled on its fifth play, setting up the Reed offense at the Tigers' 25. Soon after, Reed got a 19-yard touchdown run from Ty Shepard, forging the east Sparks school ahead 13-0 with 8:02 to go in the first quarter.
From there, the game hit a scoring lull. It looked like the margin would stay at 13-0 into halftime, but the Raiders had other plans. With 1:55 remaining before the intermission, Gray caught his second touchdown of the game, a 40-yarder from Nowaczewski, leaving Reed with a 19-0 edge at the break.
That third Reed touchdown sealed the Tigers' fate for all intents and purposes. Douglas was able to break up the shutout. The Tigers posted a pair of second-half touchdowns, but they never got closer than 19 points the rest of the way.
"I feel like our defense played together," Reed's Drew Bryant said. "We just flew around and we didn't let them get outside for big runs. We were able to shut them down and then we tackled well."
Reed pushed its lead to 26-0 when it scored first in the third quarter. Shepard continued his big night when he broke free for a 61-yard touchdown run just over three minutes into the second half. Shepard finished the night with 180 yards on 18 carries.
Douglas finally got on the scoreboard when Connor Greth hauled in a 21-yard TD pass from teammate Michael Nolting with 3:56 to go in the third quarter. That made the score 26-7, but it mattered little.
Reed put up three more touchdowns before the final whistle blew. Nowaczewski had a 1-yard scoring scamper on a fourth-and-1 play with a minute to go in the third. That was set up by a 34-yard pass down the middle from Nowaczewski to slot receiver Brett Chaney.
Next, Reed scored on a 53-yard TD reception by Marty Hargrove from Nowaczewski with 8:21 left in the game.
Nowaczewski completed 18 of 24 passes for 291 yards through the air.
The Raiders' last touchdown came after a 16-yard touchdown run by reserve running back Jordan Deleon at the 1:25 mark of the fourth.
"We are right where we want to be," Howren said. "We keep getting better every week. We're going to the second week of the playoffs. We can still get better and that's not a knock. We just know we can improve on things and get better."

Mario Sepulveda, father of new UNR student Scarlette Sepulveda, was one of the miners who was trapped. Emma said Mario had a feeling an accident was coming.
"He was a miner for many years," Emma said. "He operated a machine that opens the walls."
The San Jose Mine is a copper and gold mine, and the company that was operating the mine was not following codes and procedures it should have been following.
"The mine had some problems," Emma said, such as perforations that were too close together, which made the walls in the mine more vulnerable to collapse. "(Mario) had an idea that the accident was going to happen, and even told some of his friends, 'The mine is not safe. We are over-perforating.' "
Mario even purchased a life insurance policy and asked his friends to take care of his family if he was killed in a mining accident.
"(The company) just didn't respect the distance between the perforations," Emma said.
And signs of a collapse on the day of the accident were ignored by company superiors, she said. The men in the mine twice called their bosses on the surface and said they were hearing unusual noises and seeing abnormal dust.
"They told them to stay down there," Emma said, at least until their lunch break.
Emma explained it takes 20 to 30 minutes to get out of the mine, and the workers have to be picked up in trucks.
"When a truck went in, the wall fell," trapping the workers deep inside the mine, she said.
The 33 men spent 17 days in the dark with very little food and only contaminated water to drink.
"They only had enough food for 10 people for five days," she said. "And the food they had was expired," which also was the fault of the company.
For 17 days until the men were initially located, each man was rationed one teaspoon of tuna fish, one sip of milk and half of a saltine cracker.

Watch Mike Tyson On 'Law & Order: SVU'
Former champ set for controversial appearance on NBC hit
Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight champion turned part-time actor, makes his much-anticipated appearance on Law & Order: SVU on Wednesday (9 p.m. ET/PT, NBC).
There's been no shortage of controversy surrounding Tyson's appearance, given the show's subject matter and the ex-fighter's history (he was convicted of rape in 1992). The announcement prompted a Change.org petition that's garnered more than 15,000 signatures, including that of NCIS star and abuse survivor Pauley Perrette. Slate's Alyssa Rosenberg blasted it as detrimental to the show's credibility, while Jezebel's Lindy West was even more pointed:
Now, Tyson completed his sentence and is free to live his life at this point. But that doesn't mean we all have to be complicit in the rehabilitation of his image. That doesn't mean SVU has to hire him. Like I said, SVU's not perfect, but it's something — a small counterpoint to the rape apologia that currently pervades our culture. It at least attempts to unpack tough ideas about shame and victim blaming and the way we protect rapists by stigmatizing sexual violence. Mariska Hargitay runs a foundation to support victims of sexual abuse, for Christ's sake. When I wrote about SVU before, I heard from a lot of victims who say they find SVU therapeutic.
For his part, Tyson responded to the criticism in an interview with TV Guide, while showrunner Warren Leight responded in a series of tweets last month.
first of seven. 1) We understand the casting of Mike Tyson seems inappropriate to some SVU fans.—

Warren Leight (@warrenleightTV) January 12, 2013
6 of 7) Because of SVU's subject matter, all of us have a profound sense of our responsibility.—
Warren Leight (@warrenleightTV) January 12, 2013
7 of 7) Our intent, as always, is to provoke discussion and awareness. We ask you to keep an open mind. Thanks.—
Warren Leight (@warrenleightTV) January 12, 2013
Whether it's an earnest attempt for the ex-champ to further his acting career or mere stunt casting during February sweeps, one thing's for certain: After nearly 30 years, Tyson still gets everybody talking.

We will have a Fish Fry Friday June 15 at the church in honor of our Fathers. We will start cooking at 3pm and serve at 5pm. Don't forget the Birthday party for Arabella Ramsey also on Friday June 15 at the church from 1-3pm. On Sunday June 23 there will be a baby shower for Tiffany Cobb starting at 2pm. She's having a girl and her name is Marlee.
Pastor Donald's message was taken from 2 Timothy 2:15 "Why Sunday School?". The history of Sunday School dates back to England in 1780 and moved to the United States around 1800. Many ministers rejected Sunday School because they believed only "trained theologians" should teach. Baptist and especially Southern Baptist were at the forefront of the Sunday School movement. Between 1920 and 1960 Sunday School was responsible for the growth of Southern Baptist churches more than anything else.
Why do we need that extra hour of church on Sunday? Is it really that important? Some churches are actually getting away from Sunday School! Without Sunday School we would not be as strong in our knowledge and understanding of the Bible. Without Sunday School we would have less influence on our culture and society. The real strength of Sunday School is to help the church grow and prosper.
Sunday School helps to reach people with no church background and also church members who have dropped out of church. Sunday School teaches the Word of God. Sunday School is a caring ministry of the church. It builds relationships, gets people involved and gives encouragement. Most of all Sunday School is and evangelism tool! It is a soul winning arm of the church by reaching children, youth and adults. It is a way of explaining the plan of salvation!
See you in Sunday School!

JPMorgan: Don't blame us for slow recoveryJanuary 31, 2013: 2:13 PM ET
Economist at JPMorgan says big banks aren't the reason why lending hasn't recovered faster. He's wrong.
FORTUNE -- Apparently, Wall Street still hasn't learned that those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Particularly when said glass house can be seen from space. And it's protected by the government.
This week, an economist in JPMorgan Chase's (JPM) asset management unit, Michael Cembalest, took a look at why lending hasn't rebounded faster in this recovery. The financial crisis is long over. However, business lending has only recently started to increase again, and only minimally. Last year's mini-boom in mortgage lending was nearly 90% refinancings, not new loans.
So this is a good question. Unfortunately, Cembalest doesn't really tackle it. Instead, he pivots pretty quickly to look at who is to blame the most for the credit crunch: The big banks or their smaller rivals. And Cembalest's conclusion is pretty predictable from someone whose paycheck comes from the biggest bank in the nation. He writes, "The results show that larger banks have generally been providing more credit relative to their ability to do so." Small banks, not so much.
MORE: The refinance boom has peaked
To get to this conclusion, Cembalest doesn't look at the traditional measure of a bank's ability to lend, which is how much it has in deposits, and how much of that money goes to loans versus how much stays in the vault. Instead, Cembalest broadens the definition of lending to include not just bank loans, but bonds as well.
That's not such a bad idea. Most large corporations, and many smaller ones, do a large portion of their lending by issuing debt to bond investors. Here's where Cembalest goes wrong. He gives the credit for that lending to the big banks and Wall Street firms that underwrite those bonds. But they're not the ones really making those loans. Investors are the ones who are putting their money on the line. The banks are just the go between. That is especially true for mortgage loans, which banks almost immediately turn around and sell to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. So that's not the banks extending credit -- that's the government doing it. The result is that Cembalest comes to the bizarre conclusion that Morgan Stanley (MS) is the most efficient lender in the nation, even though among the big banks Morgan Stanley does the least lending by far. JPMorgan somehow finds itself among Cembalest's best lenders too, along with Citigroup (C), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Bank of America (BAC).
The other problem is that the Cembalest compares the amount of lending the banks are doing to the amount of capital they have. But that's not a fair comparison. Large banks almost always hold less capital relative to their loans than small banks, even when they are not lending. They can do so because of the assumption that if they run into trouble the government will bail them out. Small banks can't tell their investors that.
The better way to measure all of this is to compare bank lending to deposits, which is the real money banks have to lend out. Based on that measure, big banks have dropped their lending to the lowest levels in decades, just 76% of deposits, according to Bankregdata.com. Midsized banks, on the other hand, like New York Community Bank, or Synovus Bank, which is based in Columbus, are lending out 83% of their deposits.
MORE: Why community banks need a break
And you can argue that the bond market has changed the way money is lent. But that change has been happening over decades. And yet the drop off in lending compared to deposits, which used to be above 90% at the big banks, only came after the financial crisis.
Worse, these days, more and more of the nation's deposits are flowing to the largest banks. So yes, we do need big banks and Wall Street firms to underwrite bond offerings. But we don't need those same banks to be black holes for our nation's deposits, giving them cheap money that they, or their traders, namely JPMorgan's London Whale, can bet on credit derivatives or elsewhere. If you are looking for a reason for why there hasn't been more lending in the wake of the financial crisis, that's probably a good place to start.

On the politics of government student loan interest rates…
The Republican student loan plan is a piece of legislation that would prevent the interest rate from doubling. [The] student loan interest rate's supposed to go up – it's supposed to double – on July 12th. So John Boehner and the House Republicans have proposed legislation to prevent that from happening… Nancy Pelosi says that Obama would veto that. Why? This is so brazen and blatant… He wants the issue. He's gonna veto this so that student loan rates will go up so that he can blame Republicans for it. He is counting on the fact that the media will not significantly report that the Republicans tried to stop it.

This is my first week. Tell me I will feel better soon. It literally took every ounce of me to get on the treadmill for 20 minutes this morning. Please tell me, isn't that the point though? Shouldn't I be pushing myself to the max? Thats what I have done all week and I guess it's just hititng me because my body is feeling it.
Hitting your 10's comes with a price........ and a great reward! It will get better!
Great job getting on that treadmill! I know how you feel. Today's day 4 for me and my legs are sore and I can feel the soreness every time I have to sit down. The good news from what I understand is continued exercise and drinking water will help the soreness go away.
Hitting one's 10 can leave you sore from time to time and I can relate to getting on the treadmill, I do it about once a week and I am not all that enthusiastic about it at first BUT glad I did do it later on . So hang in there and Keep Moving forward!!
It's day 4 for me and my legs are killing me.
In my first week, I was so sore that I could not hold my balance when I walked....and there was slippery icy snow everywhere because it was winter! But after that first week or so I never felt THAT sore agan. It will wear off and you will not have that hard of a time every workout. I took alieve and it helped. You don't have to take as many as often.
Great job on week one! You must have really pushed yoursef and done your best to have that initial crazy soreness.
If you're really sore, you're doing something right! Keep up the good work! dig in deep!!
Welcome to the team. The old saying, "no pain, no gain"..well, it's true. You have to push yourself to failure, and get those "10's" in order to make the small tears in the muscle, so that the muscle can grow back bigger during recovery. If you are not pushing yourself, the muscle has no reason to grow, because it can handle what you are throwing at it.
I'm so sore today..I couldn't hardly pull my pants up!! hahaha guess that means I'm doing something right lol!
Greetings , but just a little tip , I have found that the use of the EAS Muscle Armor did help with recovery as well as the EAS Betagen when taken after tough workouts. (I love that Tang like flavor too)
I am in week 10 of my first challange. In the first several weeks it was easy to make myself sore after my weight workouts. Now, even though i am hitting my tens and even lifting to failure my muscles aren't getting sore. Does this mean i am not achieving muscle growth or is my body getting better at recovery? Also, i have been changing the exercises that i do each week so that my body has a more difficult time adapting to the workouts.
Rachel, are you changing up the exercises you do? I'm in Week 10 of my 2nd challenge, and my muscles still get sore for a day or so. Not the sore like when you first start, but the good sore that tells you that you had a good workout. If you haven't changed up your exercises, it may be your body getting used to the same old thing, and you won't see the growth you want to see.
Greetings just another way to help with sore is to use a little hot/cold therapy when you take your shower (or bath) when you finish you workout. ICE type of therapy if it is very bothersome. but I agree it usually does show you are doing your best in the gym or home when you are a little sore after the workouts.
you're first couple weeks, if you're hitting your 10's , you should be hobbling out of the gym barely able to go down any stairs. lol

My mother recently passed away at the age of 49 after a 4-week battle with pancreatic cancer. I have read that certain types of pancreatic cancer can be genetic. What should my family watch out for?
Ursina Teitelbaum, MD, Medical Oncologist at Penn Medicine responds:
There are familial cancer syndromes that can increase one's risk of cancer, including pancreatic cancer. It is hard to say in this particular case but I think important to find out the rest of your mother's family history, especially other family members with breast, pancreas or other GI cancers. You might ask her oncologist or your internist if you should be referred for specialized cancer risk assessment to find out if you or your siblings have increased risk.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. View the entire transcript from the Focus on Pancreatic Cancer Webchat.Imprima English
Mar 3, 2014 - Incretin-based drugs seem not to have a causal association with pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer, according to research published in the Feb. 27 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Richard Agretto calls it "the diamond jewel of our community."
Agretto, the former director of special education in the Bethlehem Area School District, was talking about the Miracle League of Northampton County, the new baseball facility that is set to make its debut with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony Sunday at 12:30 p.m. adjacent to the Charles Chrin Community Center in Palmer Township.
This is the second Miracle League facility to open in the region, coming six years after the Miracle League of the Lehigh Valley opened in Heidelberg Township in 2006, and it's another opportunity to give kids and young adults with physical and intellectual disabilities a safe place to play a game so many of us have long enjoyed.
The whole project has come together in less than two years and is a testimony to community unity.
"It's a first-class, beautiful facility and the community, at large, has just wrapped its arms around this project and put its support behind us," Agretto, the president of The Miracle League of Northampton County, said. "The fact that we were able to pull this off in less than two years and raise the funds necessary for it happen … it just blows my mind. It's way beyond whatever our expectations were."
Plenty of "thank yous" will be given out on Sunday, but one of the biggest will go out to project manager Dave Colver, who is the chairman of the Palmer Township Board of Supervisors.
"He's the person who pulled it all together," Agretto said. "He's in the construction business and is so well-respected in the community. Through his craft, he has been able to implore so many within the community to step up and donate so much time and material. They have handed him bills and said 'don't worry about paying it.' He has been incredible, pulling it all the pieces together."
Agretto has spent his entire adult life in special education — 19 years as the director in BASD and 35 years overall — and said the focus with organizations like The Miracle League is "on the possibilities, not the disabilities. We want to show what these kids are capable of doing if given the chance. They should have the opportunity, like anyone else, to play. It gives them a sense of belonging, pride and respect.
"Starting next Sunday, so many more kids no longer have to stand on the sidelines. They can wear real team uniforms provided by Majestic and they will have volunteer coaches helping them and the chance to make new friends every time they come out and play. Their family and friends will get to cheer them on like never before."
Agretto said about 100 kids have already been registered to play at the new facility and the goal is to "double, or possibly, triple, that number."
Six teams have been organized and a weekend schedule of games will be played through October with the first full season of games to begin in the spring.
Besides the specially-designed field, which will be called the Easton Rotary Club Field in honor of its $100,000 donation, the facility includes covered dugouts, a pavilion, a family center that features a concession stand, two bathroom facilities, two family rooms and a storage area. The scoreboard includes a video screen.
Sunday's speakers will include Agretto, Colver, Northampton County Executive Director John Stoffa, National Miracle League Association Executive Director Diane Alford; Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation Vice President Chuck Brady and Easton Rotary Club President Mike Woodley. Legendary Lafayette College public address man Jim Finnen will announce the kids in their first game.
But perhaps the best speech of all will be given by Miracle League player Brianna McGovern, who will express what this field will mean to so many kids who wouldn't get to play otherwise.
"This is all about the kids, and we're all going to be witness to a lot of courage, laughter, and tears on that field," Agretto said. "These kids are going to bring this field to life. Usually kids from Forks Township and Palmer Township are rivals, but here they'll get to play on the same team and that will show how much these communities have come together to make this happen. It's wonderful to see."
Bobby Shantz, who won the 1952 American League MVP while pitching for the Philadelphia Athletics, will return to the Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Sept. 15, at Championship Sports Cards at the Merchants Square Mall, 1901 S. 12th St. in Allentown. He will be signing autographs from 12 to 2 p.m.
Shantz was last here in June participating in the Curt Simmons Day festivities in Egypt.

Big Brothers Big Sisters Lehigh Valley has renamed its annual golf tournament to honor a friend of the organization, John Walson Jr., president and CEO of Service Electric Cable TV and Communications, who died on Aug. 19.
For more than 35 years, Walson helped to tell the story of Big Brothers Big Sisters Lehigh Valley. The tournament's new name is the John Walson, Jr. Memorial Open benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters Lehigh Valley.
•Villanova sophomore quarterback Chris Polony (Whitehall) was 2-for-7 passing for 18 yards and one interception and ran five times for a net-6 yards in the Wildcats' 41-10 loss to Temple on Friday night before 32,709 at Lincoln Financial Field.

City Ladies 3-0 Leeds: Report
- 13 November 2012 10:52
- Posted by Chris Nield / Words by Kevin Sims
High flying Leeds United made trip to Manchester to face City at the Regional Athletics Arena last Sunday.
High flying Leeds United made trip to Manchester to face City at the Regional Athletics Arena this Sunday.
City began to dictate the pace of play after halftime enjoying their best period with former Leeds player Sarah Danby beginning to have a real impact. From a Fliss Middleton cross she unleashed a drive which produced a wonderful save from Draycott to keep the ball out.
City extended their lead on 61 minutes; Krystle Johnston bent her run superbly to stay onside and get in behind the Leeds backline. Goodwin set up Danielle Young who neatly picked out the top corner from ten yards.
The game was all but over on 71 minutes when pressure from the City forward line forced Leeds into a mistake. A miss-kicked clearance landed at the feet of Danby who pushed the ball out of her feet with her first touch and caught-out the stranded Draycott with a tidy lob from all of 25 yards.
"A great win and team performance today." Leigh Wood said after the final whistle, "We matched Leeds all over the pitch, every player winning their individual battle, which enabled us to push on and control the game for large parts. Leeds had their chances but most went straight at our keeper, who dealt with them comfortably. We now look forward to the visit of Barnet next weekend. Well done Ladies."
MCLFC team: Brown, Middleton, McLellan (Harding 62), Shepherd, McManus, Nightingale, Young, Johnston (Jordan 85), Savage (c), Goodwin, Danby (Buffel 75)
Subs: Lee, Worthington, Jordan, Buffel, Harding

Comments about PHYSIQUE ENHANCING SCI PES Anabolic Stack:
This is was my first time running this stack and certainly not my last! I was very impressed by my energy, recovery time, strength, and lean gains from these products. A buddy of mine is running a cycle of Test-e about the same time I started taking this stack, and lets just say he wasn't too far ahead of me from strength gains in the gym (Obviously with determination & consistency in and out of the gym for myself) I would recommend running 2 bottles of each (8 weeks) as the last 4 weeks will be at its strongest point.

I recently purchased a black leather bed and was searching everywhere for a black n white comforter set that i didnt think was cheesey looking or cheap. When i saw this i instantly fell in love n prayed when i got it home and saw it in person i would still feel the same....its absolutely gorgeous! I am super thrilled that i made the decision to buy it!
The black scroll on the comforter is on the left lower corner of the king-sized set. The appliqu� is very nicely done. The decorative throw pillows are exceptionally nice. The only problem is that I only received 7 of the 9 pieces in the advertised set. It was missing the 2 euro shams. But, I love the set.
Love this comforter set, It's high quality, love all the pillows that come with it. It is exactly as pictured, it was delivered within a week, for the price you honestly can't beat it!!!
I purchased the king size set for my new master bed matress. The comforter was the only thing that I took out and it was way, way too small for my bed. The picture shows an over lap from the top of the matress of about 12-18 inches (enough to cover the side/thickness of the matress). This comforter maybe hung 4 inches to the right and left sides of my mattress. Once you get 2 people under it there is not enough to cover you both. The quality of his cotton comforter seemed good otherwise.
I was extremely happy with this purchase! The comforter is all cotton, bright white and beautiful and doesn't make me feel suffocated at night because it's so heavy (I personally don't like heavy comforters, so if you do, this isn't the set for you). The black pattern isn't ironed on (as I originally feared) but sewn giving it real personality. And the pillows are my favorite part! They have one that is velvet, one with a cutout pattern, and one that is satin with pearls! This was a perfect addition to my Victorian Gothic style bedroom and I would highly recommend this set!
My niece ordered this and when I saw it I ask her to let me know how it was. She thought it was very nice quality, so I ordered it and it is just beautiful. The pattern stands out and the pillows are so pretty. I won't be using it until June when we move and I go all black and white in the bedroom. It is great quality and I am very pleased with it.
I am satisfied with this set. Only wish it were about six inches wider.
The photo of this comforter is so pretty. I received it & it was so NOT what I had expected! First off, it was so wrinkled, I had to steam the wrinkles out, which took forever. But sadly they come back! You must be extremely cautious with this comforter because its really not practical. We thought it would wash better then it did. After following instructions for washing, it came out looking so BAD!! Wrinkles, wrinkles, wrinkles. I wish I could get a different comforter, this one just doesn't look as it should. Very disappointed!!
Beautiful comforter however it looks more like a quilt in the picture. The qualilty of the comforter is good I'm happy with the quality.
It was nice until it was washed. Fell apart in wash

Botulinum toxin A is used to treat contractures in children with spasticity by temporarily interfering with neural transmission at the motor end plate. In infants with brachial plexus palsy, posterior shoulder subluxation and dislocation are the result of muscle imbalance, in which neurologic recovery is evolving, and spasticity is not a deforming force. We postulated that temporary weakening of the shoulder internal rotator muscles with botulinum toxin A would facilitate reduction of the glenohumeral joint in such infants with early posterior shoulder subluxation or dislocation.
Thirty-five infants with posterior subluxation or dislocation of the shoulder due to brachial plexus palsy were treated with botulinum toxin A between January 1999 and December 2006, and were followed for a minimum period of one year. Records were reviewed for the severity of the palsy, age at time of treatment, recurrence of subluxation or dislocation, and the subsequent need for further treatment to reduce the glenohumeral joint.
The average age at the time of shoulder reduction and botulinum toxin-A injection was 5.7 months. Six patients had a second injection. Reduction of the shoulder was maintained in twenty-four (69%) of the thirty-five patients. There were no complications related to the use of botulinum toxin A.
Although there may be specific risks associated with its use, botulinum toxin-A injection into the internal rotator muscles is a useful adjunct to the treatment of early posterior subluxation or dislocation of the shoulder in infants with neonatal brachial plexus palsy, and may help to avoid the need for open surgical procedures to restore or maintain shoulder reduction.
Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions to Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
The cast used for immobilization of the shoulder in an infant keeps the chest free and the abdomen relieved for feeding. The position of the shoulder can be modified according to the procedure done. Removal of the cast does not require a cast saw because of the casting material used.
The results of treatment on the reduction of the shoulder in infants treated with casting and botulinum toxin A. BTX = onabotulinumtoxinA; IR Ctx = internal rotation contracture, TT = tendon transfers, rdxn = reduction, ExRot = external rotation, and Rx = treatment.
Thank you for your comment on our article. We do not feel that this is aggressive treatment, but rather a closed treatment to try to prevent the need for open treatment should the deformity worsen.
All of the patients in our series had both passive external rotation of the involved shoulder of less than neutral, as well as documented posterior subluxation of the humeral head that did not reduce during attempted external rotation seen during real-time ultrasonographic imaging.
The measurement of external rotation of the shoulder while a child is awake takes experience. All examiners in our clinic do the examination in the same way, with the shoulder adducted, the scapula stabilized, and the elbow flexed and supinated. None of these infant shoulders in this series could be brought even to neutral. When the child was anesthestized, the position of the shoulder was again assessed, and then with passive manipulation over the course of the procedure, the contracture could be stretched out to a target of at least sixty degrees of external rotation.
All of these patients had failed a pre-operative stretching protocol if they had been followed for a period of time in our clinic. If posterior subluxation and tight contracture was found on the first visit to our clinic, we did not do extensive stretching prior to the botullinumtoxin and casting. My prior experience with casting alone in these children, although anecdotal, was unsatisfactory, with rapid return to the internally rotated position because the internal rotators remained strong.
While I agree with all of your comments about the benefits of a Level I study, and I concur that this is Level IV evidence, my goal in presenting this information is to share a technique that, for me, has given an additional option for closed treatment of a difficult problem in these shoulders. Early subluxation may occur during the period of plexus recovery. If the shoulder can be maintained in a reduced position during this time, I am hopeful that function will either improve spontaneously, or that it can be more easily augmented with rebalancing tendon transfers at a later date.
We continue to follow these patients and are aware of the multitude of confounding variables in these very complex shoulders, including the degenerative muscle changes about the shoulder in these babies. Again, the purpose of this report is to share a closed method that has helped treat the infant with a brachial plexus palsy and a shoulder that is progressing toward a fixed posterior dysplasia. I hope to be able to report back with greater detail and long-term results.
We thank Dr. Soldado for his comments. While we agree that muscle imbalance is the primary contributor to the shoulder subluxation in the very young infant, our use of botulinum toxin-A is not meant to restore muscle balance, but rather to cause a short period of chemodenervation and subsequent weakness of the shoulder internal rotator muscles. We suggest that this allows the humeral head to be repositioned more easily and with less force in the cast. We agree that the casting and stretching of the tightened internal rotator muscles is needed. Our experience in a small number of children who underwent casting alone was disappointing because of rapid recurrence of the deformity.
Our casting protocol differs from Dr. Soldado's in positioning the shoulder in adduction to gain maximum stretch of the subscapularis muscle, and also to try to prevent the abduction contracture that contributes to the Putti sign that is so common in these children.
While the case Dr. Soldado shared in the letter showed no evidence of remodeling after six months, we are hopeful that the use of botulinum toxin-A and short term casting will decrease the compressive and shear forces on the glenohumeral joint that are generated by casting alone, and that we will see evidence of remodeling as we follow our very young patients.
We agree that long-term follow-up and sequential imaging studies are needed.
To the Editor:
In their article, "OnabotulinumtoxinA Injection as an Adjunct in the Treatment of Posterior Shoulder Subluxation in Neonatal Brachial Plexus Palsy" (2010;92:2171-7), Dr. Ezaki and coauthors have addressed an interesting treatment possibility for patients with neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) who develop internal rotation contractures with prevalence up to 39% (1, 2). They injected OnabotulinumtoxinA as an adjunct to closed manipulative shoulder reduction and cast immobilization in NBPP patients in whom a passive external rotation in adduction of at least 60º could be achieved. Although there is little consensus regarding the indication for treating internal rotation contractures, the indication performed by Ezaki and coauthors seems very aggressive because treatment of internal rotation contractures is usually performed when the passive external rotation in adduction is below 30º (3-6).
Although MRI was not performed, ultrasonography was used to evaluate glenohumeral deformity. However, Ezaki et al. give no description on the glenoid version, the percentage of posterior displacement of the humeral head, and the extent of muscle atrophy and fatty degeneration, all of which are major confounding factors on outcome and also interpretation of the reported results (7-9). Thus the reader remains puzzled on which (pheno)types of patients were actually treated.
Botulinum toxin injection in the internal rotators could result in muscle relaxation thereby improving the passive external rotation. However, the passive external rotation range of motion in the treated patients was not reported by the authors, neither before, nor after treatment. Instead, the authors describe whether or not initial reduction was maintained or additional treatment was performed including repeated botulinum injection, open reduction, tendon transfer or external rotation osteotomy. Even more, no information is present on which outcome parameter was used to determine which of these treatments had to be used.
Presenting case series is valuable to orthopaedic literature, however prerequisites are: 1. a well defined study population, 2. the exact indications for treatment and 3. the formulation of well defined and validated outcome parameters. If these prerequisites are not present, interpretation of results will be cumbersome. An option would be, to analyze the results with a regression model to be able determine the influence of age, gender, type of injury, the extend of glenohumeral deformity, muscle atrophy, fatty degeneration, and pre-treatment clinical values on the outcome parameters.

I read with interest the paper by Ezaki et al. entitled, "OnabotulinumtoxinA Injection as an Adjunct in the Treatment of Posterior Shoulder Subluxation in Neonatal Brachial Plexus Palsy" (2010;92:2171-7). It describes nonsurgical treatment of glenohumeral dysplasia following NBPP which combines injection of botulinum toxin A into internal rotator muscles of the shoulder, followed by casting. Shoulder problems to address in these patients are muscle imbalance, shoulder internal rotation contracture (SIRC, muscle and soft tissue contracture) and joint deformity. In this paper, muscle imbalance is addressed with the use of botulinum toxin A, while soft tissue and joint abnormalities are addressed with manipulation and casting. It seems that the authors consider that botulinum toxin A injection and thus, muscle rebalancing, is the key factor in this treatment. In our opinion, casting is the main factor contributing to the improvement in SIRC although shoulder rebalancing might be necessary to avoid recurrence.
Unpublished data from our research group shows that isolated Botulinium toxin injection into shoulder internal rotator muscles does not prevent SIRC in a rat model. Currently, in line with Dr. Ezaki, the policy of our unit is to nonoperatively treat children with Waters type I to III joint deformities (Figure 1A). Our protocol is similar: shoulder casting is done with 90 degrees of shoulder abduction to allow external rotation. This treatment has been successful in soft tissue stretching with excellent passive shoulder external rotation outcomes (Fig 1B). In Ezaki's paper, children have been imaged with ultrasound although data has not been discussed. MRI imaging of our patients showed no postoperative joint remodeling (Figure 1C) despite the excellent clinical results.
Fig 1. A: MRI showing left glenohumeral dysplasia (waters type III) in a 7-month-old girl. B: Shoulder passive external rotation 6 months after nonoperative treatment with casting. C: Postoperative MRI showing no joint remodeling despite the excellent shoulder motion.
Considering Ezaki's paper and our preliminary results it appears that soft tissue contractures are successfully treated nonoperatively while the effect on the glenohumeral abnormalities needs further study. The main advantage of nonoperative treatment is sparing the subescapular muscle and thus avoiding loss of midline function which is the main complication associated with soft tissue release in surgical treatment. It is our opinion the reported non-operative management is the future direction of treatment of shoulder problems after NBPP but comparative studies are necessary.

I will not recommend this place to anyone !! After taking a perfectly intact wedding dress for resale, the dress was ruined with holes on the top layer of the tool material. I understand that TGTBT is not responsible for clothes getting ruined but this wedding dress is un-saleable. It is totally ruined. Who wants to get married in repaired wedding dress? Kathy was the manager in charge and when I asked her for her last name, she said "there is no last name just Kathy". Kathy said it could be repaired but she would not pay for the repairs, so I am suppose to pay for repairs that TGTBT negligence. So instead of me making money I have to put out money. I am sooo disgusted with these people. I should have never taken this dress to TGTBT.
This is a horrible place. I dropped off some clothes only to have a good portion of them "LOST". I don't believe for one second they were lost. I think they were stolen. When I complained, I was told there was nothing they could do for me except offer me a stupid $5.00 off coupon for my inconvience! what a slap in the face! The young girls in the office are rude and the sales women in the store are even worse. Every pair of shoes in there are ugly, smooshed, dusty, word, stink, and old! And they want $60 for some of them! it's a rip off, and a half. Beware of leaving your items, and shopping there!
Friendly, Courteous, Great Inventory – After being treated like dirt at another consignment shop, we headed to TGTBT where we were treated with courtesy and respect and the staff couldn't have been more helpful.

Definetely smaller today, but there's still some intermittent 3-4ft sets from the SE. The lulls seem a bit longer, and the banks are not in the greatest shape either. The wind is light SW , but the water surface conditions are still a touch bumpy. Expect winds to tend more Sth during the day. The Point is ok, but filling up rapidly. Nth Cron, Elouera and Midway are rideable, but there looks to be a mid shore gutter along most of the beach with no sign of any rip bowls, just outer banks and ill defined shorebreaks.
